If the L/C calls for "Full set clean on board B/L ..." than the word "clean" need not appaer on a B/L, as per Art. 27.

If the L/C calls for "Full set of Bill of Lading MARKED clean on board ..." than the word "clean" must be stated on a B/L in order to meet credit requirements.

L/C requirement for a transport document to be MARKED "clean" overrides Art. 27.

AGREED. 'A FULL SET CLEAN ON BOARD B/L'S' WOULD FALL UNDER ARTICLE 27 - HOWEVER A CREDIT CALLING FOR ' FULL SET OF B/L'S MARKED CLEAN ON BOARD' DOES NEED TO HAVE THE WORD 'CLEAN' MARKED ON THE DOCUMENT.

was Hi All, I believe that in this case, if you are attempting to have the word "clean" inserted in an OB notation, you would require something similar to:
quote in spite of article 27, the BL must be marked "clean" on board" unquote. I believe that the other examples provided would not override the UCP Article 27 default position. I do not recommend deleting all of article 27. Quite frankly, I do not know why you would need to see the word "clean" but if it was really necessary to have it, my suggestion is to clearly reference that the LC is overriding article 27, as reflected in my above example.
